I heard through the grapevine the Chevrolet Volt will cost $40,000.
FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS.
I still don't think much of hybrids, but I may be proven wrong in the marketplace. The rationale some people have of alleviating a $300/month fuel bill with a $400/month new car payment doesn't make sense mathematically. We engineers love efficiency but not at the expense of economics.
I've had fleeting thoughts of selling my car, but the math doesn't work.
hybrids aren't cheap...who knows, maybe the price will go down.How the fuck is it going to cost 40,000????
It's an electric car with a small generator....
Chevy is really screwing the pooch on this one....
Toyota should just beat them to the punch and put out a Plug in Hybrid....

But that is still (almost) twice the sticker price of a Prius.
And the prius has an actual engine in it.
how much over sticker is the prius going for again? how long is the waiting list?
the prius is a hybrid though.
the volt is a totally electric vehicle. the gas engine only charges the battery, its not connected to the wheels mechanically.
i dont really see the volt as direct competition with the prius. its more like a 4 door tesla roadster.
a hybrid malibu or something would be more of a competitor with the prius.
i just looked it up and there is a hybrid malibu. it gets a whopping 2mpg more than the regular one. what the hell is that?
anyone know if the 3 door aveo (wave, kalos, whatever) was ever realesed here or in canada?

do you need a special license for a scooter?
Motorcycle license, I imagine.
People who ride scooters and people who ride motorcycles are different types of people.scooters. lol
if you have your M class, get a 600 cc cycle....
scooters are so overpriced these days anyways....
about the same mpg really...
